"Why should I change? Some people collect postage stamps; I like fashion and discovering new things," philosophised Memphis. "I feel good doing that. If I would put on what you want me to put on, I wouldn’t be myself anymore."
That's all well and good, but does he flop in the fashion stakes, or is he a sartorial trailblazer? We investigate by running the rule over some of his signature looks...
Verdict: This is a very good start. Keeping it well tailored and simple. Very smart indeed, and Romelu Lukaku is a nice accessory.
Verdict: The explorer's hat keeps him stealth and cool as he observes his prey - which seems to be a young chap in swimming trunks.
Verdict: Big fail here. Memphis has come preppy to a rockabilly night. Even the camouflage jacket can't hide his embarrassment.
Verdict: Much more like it. M-Deeps and his boy are on point, and this is a strong look. Shalom, motherf*ckas.
Verdict: If this getup is meant to look ghetto fabulous it's most certainly does not. Cruise ship magician with a hint of Lenny Henry - in a bad way.
Verdict: This is about four different looks in one - all bad. Indigenous Peruvian meets Kanye Tribute Act meets Galactic Chav meets GI Jane. These looks should never meet, not even on the internet.
Verdict: Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads...or mirrors. Hoverboard by Argos, outfit by accident. Marty McCry me a river.
Verdict: For someone who prides himself as something of a fashion innovator, this is very dowdy. Like a concerned dad dropping his son off at uni. And a former polytechnic at that.
Verdict: We don't understand anymore. Are nor should we. Memphis - dress how you like, and ignore anyone who tells you different.
